Shit that pisses me off - Sports Stats

Lebron wiping away tears as the real "King" of basketball AND 1 Mixtapes his ass






You know what is ruining sports? What is taking away from the mystique of the athlete... the aura... the legend? Stats. Stats and this fantasy sports shit are really taking away from the games. I'm sick of watching a game and being bombarded with all these stupid fucking stats.... "Only once in the history of basketball a guy wearing white sneakers scored 2 consecutive 3 pointers in Game 7 of a series." Who gives a fuck! You know who stats used to be for? Stats used to be for that creepy guy in the ballpark with his radio on and writing down every pitch in his notebook probably filled with doodles of male genitalia. Sports analyst has to be the dumbest job in the world... One guy says "I think the Mets will win", while another argues, "I think the Mets will lose." Imagine turning on the weather channel and having 2 guys arguing over wether it will rain tommorrow and presenting all these "stats" to enforce their argument. When one of these so called analysts makes a right prediction we hear them boast non stop... but they are never called out on all the HORRIBLE predictions they always make.

Lets go a step further... sports radio. Sports radio... especially here in NY, makes me realize the majority of humans are morons. After one loss they want a public execution of team. Then after 2 consecutive wins that team is winning a championship GUARANTEED. Why would ANY athlete want to play in New York besides for the extra money. Put me somewhere warm and tropical where everyone is enjoying life too much to give a fuck about sports... basically Shaq before going to Cleveland.

Now another problem with sports... players jump around from team to team WAY too much. Back in the day... you started with a team, you most likely finished with that team. There is no loyalty anymore to a state or city. You think A-Rod really gives a fuck about NY? Or Jose Reyes? As soon as the season ends they are probably on the first flight out of town. This is where I have to give the Yankees props... and trust me I hate to do that.. the Yankees have always been about homegrown talent from the days of DiMaggio to Jeter and Posada... and now they look like they are continuing the tradition with Cano and Granderson. Thats something I really enjoy... which brings me to Lebron. Lebron.... stay in Cleveland. You were born there.. you are their hero... they dont have much at all... you are Cleveland's whole economy. As a New Yorker we have enough... we have 2 teams in each sport. We got the Yankees, Jets, and possibly the Giants all on the verge of capturing a title....

And you know deep down if Lebron comes to the Knicks and wins the title it will still not be as good as the 94 Knicks Finals run.... even tho they lost. That team embodied the attitude of the city... gritty and willing to fight till the end. What will the Knicks be now? The Lebrons.. besides we all saw last nights game and Lebron James sucks now.

Hey! New York actually agrees with me! Check out the poll at the NY Daily News. The majority of votes are telling Lebron to stay in Cleveland. Yo Lebron! New York dont want ya!
